Answer
This is right. The density of water depends on the temperature and is highest at a temperature of 4°C, so that a fixed volume of water weighs the most at a temperature of 4°C.
The cause of this phenomenon can be found in the special chemical and physical properties of water, which is formed by 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom and in which so-called ‘hydrogen bonds’ are formed.
